WARNING
HOT SURFACES!
Glass and other surfaces are hot during operation AND cool down.
Hot glass will cause burns.
• DO NOT touch glass until it is cooled
• NEVER allow children to touch glass
• Keep children away
• CAREFULLY SUPERVISE children in same room as replace.
• Alert children and adults to hazards of high temperatures.
High temperatures may ignite clothing or other ammable materials.
• Keep clothing, furniture, draperies and other ammable materials away.
If you expect that children may come into contact with this replace, we recommend a barrier such as a decorative
screen. See your dealer for suggestions.
A. Your Fireplace
WARNING! DO NOT operate replace before reading and understanding operating instructions. Failure to operate replace
according to operating instructions could cause re or injury.
Properly seasoned wood is important for successful
operation of your replace. Most woodburning replace
problems are caused by burning wet, unseasoned wood.
Seasoned rewood is wood that is cut to size, split and air
dried to a moisture content of around 20%.
Imagine a wooden bucket that weighs about eight
pounds. Fill it with a gallon of water, put it in the replace
and try to burn it. This sounds ridiculous but that is exactly
what you are doing if you burn unseasoned wood.
A tree cut down a year ago and not split is likely to have
almost as high a moisture content now as it did when it
was cut.
Please refer to Section 2.M. for more detail.
C. Starting a Fire
NOTICE: You must establish a good draft to prevent smoke
spillage into the room.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Keep combustible materials,
gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids clear of
the replace.
DO NOT:
• store ammable materials close to the replace
• use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter
uid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a re in this
replace.
Keep all ammable liquids well away from the replace while
it is in use. Combustible materials may ignite.
D. Grate
This replace is designed to be used with the grate supplied with this unit or one approved by HHT. The grate will
break down over time and will need occasional replacement.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Use only the factory-supplied
integral grate.
• Keeps logs in place.
• Allows proper air circulation around the re.
E. Firescreen
The rescreen is provided to control sparks. Keep it
closed when the replace is in use.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns!
• Screen will not prevent burning materials from falling
out.
• Screen pulls or handles may be hot.
F. Flue Damper
• Refer to Figure 2.1 for location of control.
• Must be in fully open position (handle up toward the top
of the replace) during operation of the replace.
• Before lighting the replace, verify fully open position by
looking up from the inside of the replace.
WARNING! Risk of Fire and Asphyxiation! Open
damper prior to operating replace. A closed damper
overres the replace and spills smoke and ames
into the room.
• The rst three or four res should be of moderate size to
allow the oils and binders to be burned from the replace
and the refractory and paint to cure. You may notice
an industrial odor the rst few res. This is considered
normal.
• Use well-seasoned wood.
• Open the ue damper to a fully open position.
• Place crumpled or twisted paper under the replace
grate.
• Loosely arrange kindling or small pieces of wood to form
a ‘tent’ on the replace grate.
• Pre-warm the ue to establish a draft to help reduce
smoke spillage during start-up. Hold a rolled up piece
of burning newspaper under the ue damper for a few
moments.
• Light the crumpled paper to ignite the kindling.
• Add small pieces of wood until a hot bed of embers has
been established.
• Add a minimum of three average size pieces of split
rewood, placed to allow combustion air and ames
between them.
CAUTION! Odors and vapors released during initial
operation may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
Open windows for air circulation.
G. Refractory
• The refractory is supplied to contain heat and provide
an attractive interior.
• It will break down over time and will need occasional
replacement. Small hairline cracks and discoloration are
normal and do not affect its safety.
• (See refractory maintenance Section 3.C.)

WARNING! DO NOT place combustible objects in front
of the replace. High temperatures may ignite clothing,
furniture or draperies.
• Mantel - avoid placing candles and other heat-sensitive
objects on mantel or hearth. Heat may damage these
objects.
Your replace performance depends on the quality of the
rewood you use.
• Seasoned wood contains about 8,000 BTUs per pound
.
• Hard woods are more dense than soft woods.
• Hard woods contain 60% more BTUs than soft woods.
• Hard woods require more time to season, burn slower
and are harder to ignite.
• Soft woods require less time to dry, burn faster and are
easier to ignite.
• Start the re with soft wood to bring the replace up to
operating temperature and to establish draft.
• Add hard wood for slow, even heat and longer burn
time.
Soft woods Hard woods
• Douglas Fir • Oak
• Pine • Maple
• Spruce • Apple
• Cedar • Birch
• Poplar
• Aspen
• Alder
Moisture
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
• DO NOT burn wet or green wood.
• Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of
creosote.
The majority of the problems replace owners experience
are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood.
• Wet, unseasoned wood requires energy to evaporate
the water instead of heating your home, and
• Evaporating moisture cools your chimney, accelerating
formation of creosote.
Seasoned Wood
• Cut logs to size
• Split to 6 in. (152 mm) or less
• Air dry to a moisture content of around 20%
- Soft wood - about nine months
- Hard wood - about eighteen months
NOTICE: Seasoning time may vary depending on drying
conditions.
Storing Wood
Steps to ensure properly seasoned wood:
• Stack wood to allow air to circulate freely around and
through woodpile.
• Elevate wood pile off ground to allow air circulation
underneath.
• Smaller pieces of wood dry faster. Any piece over 6 in.
(152 mm) in diameter should be split.
• Wood (whole or split) should be stacked so both ends
of each piece are exposed to air. More drying occurs
through the cut ends than the sides.
• Store wood under cover to prevent water absorption
from rain or snow. Avoid covering the sides and ends
completely.
WARNING! Fire Risk! DO NOT store wood:
• In front of the replace.
• In space required for loading or ash removal.
Processed Solid Fuel Firelogs
Manufactured relogs may be used with this replace.
Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends the use of
UL Classied processed fuel relogs. Follow the manufacturer’s lighting and safety instructions.
Using relogs may require more frequent chimney inspection and cleaning.
Do not poke or stir the logs while they are burning. Use
only relogs that have been evaluated for the application
in manufactured replaces and refer to relog warnings
and caution markings on packaging prior to use.
Frequency: When they reach bottom of grate
By: Homeowner
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ashes could contain hot embers.
• Place ashes in a metal container with a tight-tting lid.
• The closed container should be placed on a noncombustible oor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending nal disposal.
• If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
B. Chimney Inspection/Cleaning
Frequency: At least twice a year during heating season
or as recommended by a certied chimney sweep
By: Certied chimney sweep
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Ignited creosote is extremely
HOT. Prevent creosote buildup.
Refer to Figure 3.1 to remove/reinstall termination caps.
Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to
form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney ue of a slow-burning re. As a result,
creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining. When
ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot re.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! A chimney re can permanently
damage your chimney system and nearby structures.
In the event of a chimney re, Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends
• replacement of the chimney, and
• inspection of the adjacent structure to the provisions of
NFPA Level III inspection criteria.
The chimney shall be inspected at least twice a year
during the heating season to determine when a creosote
buildup has occurred.
When creosote has accumulated it shall be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney re.
Remove 2 screws from
the front and back and
lift the top off.

C. Check Firebox Refractory
Frequency: After each ash removal
By: Homeowner
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Inspect replace refractory.
Crumbling, deteriorated refractory can allow overheating
of surrounding materials.
Expansion and contraction will cause minor cracking of
the refractory. This is normal. The refractory will require
periodic replacement depending on use.
The panels should be replaced if
• Cracks exceed ¼ inch (6 mm) in width,
• Metal is exposed behind the refractory,
• Large pieces of refractory fall out.
D. Inspect Grate
Frequency: After each ash removal
By: Homeowner
Inspect grate for:
• Warping or sagging 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) or more
• Broken welds
• Burn-through of grate bars
For safe operation, replace only with an approved grate
from Hearth & Homes Technologies Inc.
E. Glass Cleaning
Frequency: As desired
By: Homeowner
CAUTION! Handle glass assembly with care. Glass is
breakable.
• Avoid striking, scratching or slamming glass
• Avoid abrasive cleaners
• DO NOT clean glass while it is hot
Clean glass with a non-abrasive commercially available
cleaner or ashes:
• Light deposits
- Use household glass cleaner
• Heavy deposits
- Use wood ash on damp cloth or,
- Use commercial replace glass cleaner (consult with
your dealer)
D. Negative PressureB. Design and Installation Considerations
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, re
ofcials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
Before installing, determine the following:
• Where the replace is to be installed
• The vent system conguration to be used
• Gas supply piping
• Electrical wiring
• Framing and nishing details
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch or remote control —are desired
NOTICE: Junction box should be installed during initial
setup to avoid major reconstruction.
C. Draft
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent replaces
successfully. When a replace is drafting successfully, all
combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the
chimney.
Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of replace and chimney
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of the replace
system caused by:
• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
• Downdrafts
• Tight sealing construction of the structure
• Mechanical exhausting devices
• Improper location of the chimney
WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Negative pressure
can cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot. Fire
must draft properly for safe operation.
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available for the replace to operate properly. It can be strongest in lower levels of the house.
Causes include:
• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
• Range hoods
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters
and other combustion appliances
• Clothes dryers
• Locat i o n of retur n - air ven t s to fu rnac e o r a i r
conditioning
• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
• Upper level air leaks such as:
- Recessed lighting
- Attic hatch
- Duct leaks
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:
• Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing
winds during the heating season
• Ensure adequate outd oor air for all combustion
appliances and exhaust equipment
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the replace
• Avoid installing the replace near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces
• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design
• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed
• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams
taped or sealed
• Basement installations should be avoided
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. recommends
Location of the replace and chimney will affect performance.
• Install within the warm airspace enclosed by the building
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially
during lighting and die-down of the re.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the effects of wind loading.
• Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.
• Minimize the use of chimney offsets.
• Consider the replace location relative to oor and ceiling
and attic joists.
• Take into consideration the termination requirements in
Section 8 and Section 9.
NOTICE: Locating the replace in a basement or in a location
of considerable air movement can cause intermittent smoke
spillage from replace. Do not locate replace near

Use only duct materials specified by manufacturer (preferably
with short run or mainly straight duct, except small dip for cold
air trap which will help prevent flow of cold air).
• Hearth & Home Technologies Inc recommends using
UL181 Class 0 or Class I rigid or flexible ducting.
• Secure flex duct with metal tape, screws or wire ties.
E. Install Outside Air Kit
• Keep duct runs short and straight to minimize restriction.
A small dip is acceptable for a cold air trap.
• The outside air kit must be installed on the left hand side
of the replace.
• Locate the outside air hood in a clear area, preferably
into prevailing wind during the heating season. Refer to
Figure 5.2.
• Install as shown in Figures 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5.
• The air duct may be run vertically.
• The outside air hood must be at least 3 ft (.91 m) below
the top of the uppermost chimney section.
CAUTION! Risk of Fire or Asphyxiation! DO NOT
draw outside combustion air from wall, oor or ceiling
cavity, or enclosed spaces such as an attic or garage.
• DO NOT place outside air hood close to exhaust
vents or chimneys. Fumes or odor could be drawn
into the room through the replace.
• Locate outside air inlet to prevent blockage from
leaves, snow/ice, or other debris. Blockages could
cause combustion air starvation.
AK14/AK18 Installation
• The hinge will be toward the front of the replace.
• Insert the narrow end of the handle into the upper slot.
• Pivot the handle in the slot toward the hinge.
• Remove the cover plate or knockout from the side of the
replace and discard. Remove the semi-perforated piece
of insulation covering the opening (insulated replaces
only).
• Partly open the air kit door and insert the handle into the
appropriate hole in the side column of the replace. The
hinge on the door assembly should be located toward
the front of the replace. If the hinge and the handle are
not positioned in this manner, the door will not function
correctly.
• Attach the door assembly to the replace using the
screws provided.
• Check operation by pulling the handle out to open and
pushing it in to close.
• Mark and cut out a 4 1/2 in. (114 mm) hole in the building
side for air entry. This hole should allow some framing
(two sides) so the 4 in. (102 mm) diameter inlet tube
assembly may be fastened properly.
• Assemble exible duct (not supplied) between the door
assembly and the inlet tube assembly. Secure it in
position with the supplied wire ties.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must maintain 2 in. (51
mm) air space clearance to insulation and other combustible materials around the chimney system. Failure to do
so may cause overheating and re.
Table 8.1
Determine the chimney components needed to complete
your particular installation:
• Measure the total vertical height of the fireplace
installation from the base of the replace assembly to
the approximate location of the bottom of the termination
cap.
• Subtract the effective height of the replace assembly
(see Figure 8.2) from the total vertical height to determine
the overall height of the chimney installation.
• Create a schematic for your application similar to Figure
8.2 showing components required (referring to Table
8.1). Figure 8.1 identies those components and where
used.
• Install a ceiling restop whenever the chimney penetrates
a oor/ceiling.
NOTICE: A maximum of two pairs of offsets and returns
may be used.
CAUTION! Risk of Fire and/or Asphyxiation! DO
NOT connect this replace to a chimney ue servicing
another appliance. DO NOT connect to any air distribu-
tion duct or system. These actions could cause overheating/re in the chimney ue, or release of exhaust
fumes into the living areas.
• Use an offset/return to bypass overhead obstructions.
• An offset and return can be used as a single entity or separated by chimney section(s).
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT use offset/returns greater than 30°. Chimney draft will be restricted and could cause
overheating and re.
• Measure the shift needed to avoid the overhead obstruction. Refer to dimension A in Figure 8.3.
• Find the appropriate A dimension listed in Table 8.2.
• The B dimension coinciding with the A dimension measurement in Table 8.2 represents the required vertical clearance
needed to complete the offset/return.
• Read across the chart to nd the number of chimney sections/model numbers needed between the offset and return.
A
Example:
Your “A” dimension from Figure 8.3 is 14 1/2 in. (368
mm). Using Table 8.2 the dimension closest to, but not
less than 14 1/2 in. (368 mm) is 15 3/4 in. (400 mm) using
a 30° offset/return.
B
You determined from the table that you would need
36 5/8 in. (930 mm) (Dimension “B”) between the offset
and return.

Proper assembly of air cooled chimney parts results in an overlap of chimney joints
of 1-1/4 in. (32 mm). Effective length is built into this table.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT install substitute or
damaged chimney components.
• Use only those components described in this manual.
Substitute or damaged chimney components could impair
safe operation and cause overheating and re.
• Support the pipe during construction and check to be
sure inadvertent loading has not dislodged the chimney
section from the replace or at any chimney joint.
• Attach a straight chimney section or an offset to the top
of the replace.
• Place inner ue to the inside of the chimney section below
it. Place the outer casing outside the outer casing of the
chimney section below it. Refer to Figure 8.4.
NOTICE: Chimney sections cannot be disassembled
once locked together. Plan ahead!
• Lock chimney sections and/or offsets/returns together by
pushing downward until the top section meets the stop
bead on the lower section.
• Pull on the top section to make sure it is fully engaged
and will not separate.
• You may use #6 or #8 sheet metal screws no longer than
1/2 in. (13 mm) to fasten chimney sections together. Do
NOT penetrate inner ue.
Figure 8.4 Assembling Chimney Sections
WARNING! Risk of Fire! You MUST use screws (pro-
vided) to fasten offset/returns to chimney sections to
keep the chimney parts from twisting. Failure to do so
could cause re.
• Fasten offset/returns to chimney sections. Insert the
screws (provided) through the pre drilled holes. Do NOT
penetrate inner ue.
• Secure chimney returns with hanger straps provided;
fasten to studs or joists.

until you have a 3 in. (76 mm) overlap and the three
holes on each side match up (large holes on top).
• Insert three screws into the matching holes to form a
tube.
• Bend three tabs on the bottom of the tube inward to 90°
to maintain chimney air space (refer to Figure 8.6).
• Rest the insulation shield on the ceiling restop below.
• Bend the three short tabs at the top of the shield inward
to 90° to maintain the 2 in. (51 mm) air space from the
chimney.
• Bend the remaining top tabs to just meet the pipe.
Figure 8.6 Prepare Attic Insulation Shield
If you wish to make a custom shield or barrier, follow
these guidelines:
• Metal is preferred, although any material stiff enough to
hold back the insulation can be used.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Use of cardboard or other
materials that can deect under humidity or other environmental conditions is not recommended.
• The shield or barrier must be tall enough to extend
above the insulation and prevent blown-in insulation
from spilling into the cavity.
• Maintain specied air spaces around chimney.
• Check instructions and local codes for further details.
• Drive a nail up through roof to mark center of pipe.
• Measure to either side of nail and mark the 17 in. x 17
in. (432 mm x 432 mm) opening required.
• Measure opening on the horizontal; actual length may
be larger depending on roof pitch.
• Cut out and frame opening.
• Refer to Chapter 25 of the Uniform Building Code for
roof framing details.
H. Complete Installation
WARNING! Risk of Fire! You MUST maintain 2 in.
(51 mm) air space to insulation and other combustible
materials around the chimney system. Failure to do so
could cause overheating and re.
• Keep chimney sections from separating or twisting.
• You may secure straight chimney sections at the joints
with screws no longer than 1/2 in. (13 mm).
The following steps should be skipped if using a
chase.
• Install roof ashing appropriate to roof pitch.
• Install round termination cap and storm collar.
I. Install Flashing

A. Construct the Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the
replace and/or its vent system. Vertical chimneys that
run on the outside of a building must be installed inside a
chase.
Construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. Local building codes MUST
be checked.
A chase should be constructed in the manner of all
outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting
problems. The chase should not break the outside building envelope in any manner. All outer walls need to be
insulated.
Building codes require false ceiling and ceiling restops
at each oor of the chase or every 10 ft (3.05 m) of clear
space to control spread of re.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever oor at the rst
level of the chase should be insulated. See Figure 9.1.
Vapor and air inltration barriers should be installed in the
chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that
the inside surfaces be sheet rocked and taped (or the use
of an equivalent method) for maximum air tightness.
Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with
high temperature caulk or stuffed with unfaced berglass
insulation. If the replace is being installed on a cement
slab, we recommend that in cold climates, a sheet of
plywood or other raised platform be placed underneath to
prevent conducting cold up into the room.
Three examples of chase applications are shown in Figure 9.2.
1. Chimney offset through exterior wall and
enclosed in chase.
2. Chase constructed on roof.
